"Team Switch"

in a recent issue of AXIS magazine, there was an article about the dream teams of skiing. for the most part the article was prettyt correct in there choosing. then i read the team switch. the team consisted of Pollard, Pep, Tanner Hall, Jon Olsson, and iannik b. some of these are true (ie Pollard) but the rest is total bullshit. it should have been Crichton, pollard, Fujas, Turpin, and Dorion. this list would amke sense. Pollard can ski anything switch. Pep can ski any kicker switch and s taking switch to the backcountry, Crichton because not only can he ski switch, but he can also spin switch. Turpin for his insane switch pipe runs, and dorion because he is the godfather of switch. i think this is almost right.

Yeah man there is no way you can leave Jon out of that list. That guy stomps everything switch and skis away like he never left the ground. At Superpark he landed a 9 over that 100+ foot table and didn't even put his hands down. Guys like Crichton are always putting there hands down.

the only reason crichton puts his hands down, is becouse he takes off switch and then spins unregular(switch) and lands switch. he is progressing at a level way above anyone else.

So what you are saying kil is that no one else is taking off and landing switch except Crichton. Hmm that's funny I seem to remember just about everyone doing that this year.

errr a ya... So I would have to include myself on that list becuase instead of turning my head and ridig switch I like to bend over and stick it between my legs, that way I don't get a stiff neck and it's way stylier then all those hoser pros out there.

I think that jon is good at switch. I didnt at first but then i saw the cork 9 he does on the superpark kicker and he landed like nothing so he should be on there

iannick was definatly an oddball but other than that it was good, I.E. the only trick iannick does switch in ready fire aim is a sketchy switch seven
